i just wore myself out....

I started counting all the cards I cut and make each month and realized WOW, no wonder I never get anything done......

On a normal month that includes a monthly card class done 4x, Christmas card class done 2x and weekly church cards...totals approximately 350 to 360 cards cut and 110 to 120 cards made and 7 cards designed........plus life......made me tired just thinking about it......especially when I have a minimum of 4 to 7 layers on most of my cards.......

Well I am struggling with my last class idea for next week's round of classes...I had it all planned ready to do and what do I do?  wait too late to get my order in to have all the supplies needed by next week...

The good side is I already have two cards planned for next month's classes....the bad side is a scramble to decide what I want to do.  It's not that I don't have ideas, it's that I have toooooo many:0)

Well enough about that for now.....a card....

 

 

 

Did I show you this one yet? Designed by very talented Jan Tink over at stampspaperscissors.typepad.com.....I love her stuff....I decided, why reinvent the wheel when she already did the work...

 

We will be making this card at class next week...I love it....

 

 

Well I'll be back on here next time I get out of my stamping cage.....

 

 

HS,

i know, i know...

I said I was going to post once a week and I haven't...well at least I'm back sooner than I have been..

I truly want to post more often and will keep reaching for that goal..

I have probably made at least 150 cards since my last post, not all different, but still, that's a lot of cards...I just don't always take time to take pictures and that's the most fun....

Anyway here is one we made in card class last month.........

I didn't have good lighting when I took it.. I stamped in VersaMark and embossed with Black Embossing Powder on our Silver Foil paper (make sure to really use the embossing buddy when you do this).... then colored it with my Blendabilities. I just used the Medium and Dark Rich Razzelberry and Dark Old Olive and Dark Crumb Cake...colored a few diamonds with the Dark Rich Razzelberry.

I used a piece of Basic Black card stock cut at 4 and 1/4 by 11..next a piece of Smoky Slate card stock cut at 4 by 5 1/4...My foil piece was  3 1/2 by 4 and mounted on a piece o Basic Black card stock...then the Rich Razzelberry piece underneath is 2 1/2 by 4 1/4 and the Black piece on top of that is 2 by 4 1/4.....and a Silver Satin bow ( all SU of course.)

I also did it using Gold Foil paper....

At the suggestion of my friend, Rhonda, I used a green to highlight the gold and black...Mossy Meadow and a Gold Satin bow...same Blendabilities Markers...

Also Happy 60th Birthday to my one and only!

Till next time,
HS,
